Voted, certifiable too.

I notice whenever there are more than a few doing the same thing as you, then everything seems easily justifiable.  :D :facepalm:

Wise words, Comis, wise words. That's the problem with the internet - nowadays everyone knows there are like-minded people around, no matter how crazy the thing you are doing (or thinking) might be.

Down the rabbit hole!  I had tapered off a lot and then they went and discontinued the 85mm line so I ended up on another spree which I guess I've pretty much burned through... Whee!

I promised myself (and my spouse) to stop collecting when I reach the age of my retirement. Tomorrow I will retire! Yesterday I received my last (latest?) Victorinox, the Venture Pro + Kit.  :whistle:
Can I keep my promise or not...? The inner mental pressure to go on is enormous... :pok:

I'm at least at the point of "letting go." Since I've...um, let go :whistle: of quite a few SAKs in the not-too-distant past, I'd need to get a more accurate count.

Fortunately for me the range between Certifiably Nuts (> 100) and What On Earth Is Wrong With You (> 600) is sufficiently large that I'm still only Certifiably Nuts.  But not by much!

Hi Mac, good to see you again. Well, if you are at the point where you lost track of the numbers, I reckon you are firmly down the rabbit hole.  :rofl:

Ahah...

Trouble is, over 50% of that number are multiple NIB backup copies of the favorites. I really don't have the "collector's bug", i', just got the "backup OCD" bug...  :rofl:

Yep, I'll be a dead man  by my wife's hand when I die as well.  Watches, flashlights, knives, tools, whisky....

On the SAK side moderately well behaved tbh, I only got to 'letting go' on the basis of classics. Would like to own more, but striving for balance between SAK, Leatherman, Spyderco, Benchmade.

I still have about 75, there have not been many changes over the past few years. I bought a Farmer X, and gave away a few Huntsman.

So that´s the rabbit hole for me.  :)

I´m a certified nutcase though, this was confirmed by my psychiatrist about 6 years ago.  :D

Which means I have to buy at least 25 more to live up to my official status.  :ahhh

I dunno, your reasoning sounds rather logical and sane to me :think:
